This bell offers a restful tone and is inspired by ancient Chinese bells.
Throughout the ages bells have been used to accompany dance, provide comfort and warn of possible danger. Some of the first to control pitch or note of a bell were the Chinese, making it possible for them to play tunes. Soon bells were being used to accompany worship. In Buddhist temples bells were rang 108 times, once for each of the108 worldly desires.
Bells have become very important in the East and often decorated with significant symbols. Tuned bells have been suspended in homes and temples for centuries to ward off evil and attract good luck and prosperity. Woodstock Temple Bells are inspired by these ancient bells and work in harmony with the wind to create gentle, soothing tones.
